Internships
We have quite a few different “types” of internships, at both the Masters and Bachelor levels, and they are all
flexible so you can develop your skills and experience as you wish.
Crisis Intervention Intern: All interns will be trained on and assist with our telephone hotline. The beauty
of your internships is that, with our services provided 24/7, you can do these hours at a time that works with your
schedule. Interns will spend time both doing hospital advocacy and working in the office to get a full experience of
the services we provide to the community. For further requirements, please contact Deana Buril, Crisis Intervention
Director at
dburil@rapecrisis.com
.
Counseling Internships: All counseling interns will be providing direct counseling services to sexual assault
survivors. During this internship you will have the opportunity to gather experience working with individuals
(children, adolescents, and adults) and families that are dealing with the psychological impact of sexual violence
under the supervision of Licensed Professional Counselors. The supervisor will contribute to the development of your
counseling skills necessary to best serve this population. All applicants must be at least master level in counseling
or related areas, and will need to have 50 direct client contact hours by the time of their application. For further
requirements, please contact Debbi Walker, Office Manager & Compliance Officer at
dwalker@rapecrisis.com
.
Community Engagement & Education Internship: Become well acquainted with and participate in a nonprofit’s
educational work in the community. Work with our Community Outreach and Education departments to not only understand
and contribute to our curriculum but to also hone your own public speaking and community engagement skills by presenting
to community groups, schools, and other organizations. Responsibilities will also include helping in The Center with
education preparation and going to health fairs and community events to assist Outreach. For further requirements,
please contact Nicole Castro, Community Relations Coordinator at
ncastro@rapecrisis.com
